[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 727863, member: 144"] [color=#4000FF]what is a stinger?[/color] Concerning fences, it's local terminology (probably wrong) indicating the shortened third leg of a brace or corner. It's sunk 4' into the ground as all the posts are, but only sticks out above ground 6" to 12" in height.

The short piece of pipe (stinger, end, short-post, whatever) is often notched, or saddled, so the dropping down piece of pipe top rail can be smoothly welded in place.
